An Outrageous Proceeding.

Last Sunday Hebrew peddler, whose
name we did not learn. stopped with his
team and outfit at 2s-Mile Springs, and
there met with partyof several railr' ad
men from one Of the camps near by. After
some conversation with them the timer
ant merchant concluded to go with the
party to their camp Tor the purpose OF
trafficing with the men. To this end they
started off together and after they had
gone some distance beyond the spring
house, the party turned upon the peddler
and made him prisoner while they robbed
him Of many articles in his stock, taking
| goodly portion of the same. Then
| fastening rope to the rear of the wagon
and about the neck of their victim they
started the team off at full speed and the
| unfortunate man was thus dragged Tor 4
considerable distance until it was stopped
by some men who happened to be in the
| line of the route taken by the runaway
team. The paddler caught hold OF the
rome with his hands and thus saved him

was badly bruised and injured about the
head and body and was laid up for two O
